I loved Jr. High, but High School sucked.
In Jr. High, everybody were friends with everybody. The geeks and nerds, the guys who talked about computers while playing chess in the library, were cool and fun to talk to, the popular kids were fun a nice to everyone, the poor "trailer kids" were fun and cool too. Only a small group of people really caused any trouble, but mostly, they were nice too. I guess that was my doing. I always stuck up for somebody if the were being made fun of, or picked on by these people. It was a lot of fun the way everybody got along with everybody. Even the teachers were awesome. They would invite you to their house to help you with something, or ask you to babysit their kids, or water their plants if they went on vacation, or something. How many of you can say that about your teachers? Then came high school in a different town.
It SUCKED! I hated everybody! They were mean and nasty all the time. I was a big guy, so I never got into a fight, but just dealing with those idiots really pissed me off a lot, so I was mostly alone. But that was my choice. I like maybe four or five teachers the entire 4 years I was there. It wasn't unitl my senior year when people started being nice to each other, but by then, I had mostly bad feelings for everyone by then. I had a couple of girlfriends for friends, but most of the girls at my school were poor, sluty, obnoxious, whore types, so they didn't have many freinds either. The guys were all pretty much dope smoking morons who were mean and really obnoxious. I never signed up for sports, until my senior year, because I hated the guys I would have to play with. But, finally, I played football my senior year and I was seen as the "BIG, BAD, COOL GUY" on campus instead of the scary loner, but I never felt it. I guess playing guitar, driving a muscle car and playing football helped people lighten up around me, but I still never really liked any of them.
Thank God I had cool freinds to hang out with that were close to my house, or the "happiest years of my life" would have sucked completely.
